This is the canonical place for site-wide installation and it should work
correctly.  But looking at the other problems reported there is something else
wrong with that Emacs installation, badly so.  But not this.

Achim.

Thanks for the help.

I've removed everything associated with emacs 24 and have installed emacs 23 (from the debian repository).  I now get a return from "M-x list-load-path-shadows", which I've pasted below.  I don't see anything that looks like it should be a problem there, since the latest org files are all being used, if I'm interpreting that output correctly.  I also made the following change to my .emacs file as you suggested, Suvayu (just to be sure it wasn't causing a problem).

;; ====== org-mode customizations ======================
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs/lisp/org-mode/lisp")
;;(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org")

Using the same input file, and the same .emacs file (with the path change above), I'm still getting the same .tex file output that I sent a couple of days ago, where I'm getting subsubsections where I should be getting frames.

I also tried Eric's presentation.org file (http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/presentation.org) that he mentioned in another thread, with similar results (but in this case, subsections where I should be getting frames, due to the Heading level differences in the two files).

I've tried my input file on another machine as well, which I think (but can't be sure) has never had emacs 24 (thinking the problem may be that there are still some vestiges of the emacs 24 installation that I didn't get cleared off from this machine), and I'm getting same results.

At this point I'm still stuck.  I'll keep poking at it, but if there are any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.  Since no one else is having these issues, it seems to suggest something in my installation.

Thanks,
Jerry
